This is my tribute to the underground 90s. Not the stuff you always hear on the radio, but an alternate timeline of One-Hit-Wonders, B-Sides, rarities, and obscure tracks from artists you love, and some you might be hearing for the first time! This is the soundtrack to my life, and if mixes are my artform, then this is me bleeding on the canvas. Dig in. Discover. Rediscover. Enjoy!!!

Every act of creation is first an act of destruction. When creation becomes a rigid set of rules and boundaries, with no room to expand upon, it becomes a system. That system must then be destroyed in order to create.

This is my new concept Rock N Roll mix “Danger Zone”, along with music curator Roger Jao. It’s a wild ride back to the golden era of MTV, riding in the Trans Am with the T-tops off, wind blowing through your moustache, and the radio cranked up to 11. The zone you are venturing into is one of danger!

I’ve done a bunch of different rock genre mixes in the “Roger Jao Presents” series, they can all be heard and downloaded at Roger’s Soundcloud!

This is a chronicle of bass music from 2005-2013, focusing on Dubstep and it’s evolution over the years, highlighting all the classics that changed the shape of it along the way. Starting with some early UK dub-reggae-based Dubstep, along with some Grime, through the heavy North American invasion, and then what I call the “Skrillex era”, into Drumstep, all the way up to the current state of Trap and Twerk. There’s so many classics, and I obviously couldn’t include them all, but this is the journey I took through the years, all the tracks that made us go crazy when we first heard em, and the ones that would change the game forever. I hope you enjoy it!

Drift out past the edge of existence. The blurry-edged and introspective follow up to the first, Major Gazer 2 is a seamless blend of indie-folk-shoegaze-dream-pop! This mix is part of an ongoing DJ mix series curated by Roger Jao. If you haven’t heard the first one Major Gazer, or want more info on the “Roger Jao Presents” mix series…there’s links to all that HERE!

…Many years ago, the Crystal cracked, and music was divided in separate genres. The people, not realizing that all music was one, broke off into factions, building castle walls around themselves, and waging war with each other over which style should reign supreme. Deep in the forest, lived a race of gentle Mystics who knew that the Great Conjunction was upon us, and when the three Suns aligned, all music would again be one. The prophecy told of a DJ, the last of his kind, who must find the lost crystal shard and heal the Dark Crystal before the Great Conjunction. To save our world, the Universal order of music must be restored!

…meanwhile in another part of the Electric Forest, the young sage DJ SOLO is greeted by two dark knights. One from the inner-forest TRAP Clan and one from the family of Dutch HARDSTYLE Vikings. They bestowed upon him an untold prophecy of their union and eventual domination. Prepare yourselves…THE PROPHECY is upon us!!!

This is my high energy Fast-Trap mix, kicking up the tempo from 70/140bpm to 88/176bpm, and adding in some Electro, Fidget, Hip-Hop, Grime, Tuki-Bass, Moombah, and a whole batch of new Mashups. Enjoy!!

Starship ∆cademy, the new project of Electronic and Hip-Hop veteran DJ SOLO, takes Trapstyle into a new direction. Walking in the footsteps of concept producers such as DJ Shadow, Dan the Automator, and DJ Muggs, this mini concept EP focuses on the lost wisdom of the ancients, visitors from space, and our Universal connection to all things. It’s all woven together in a bass and synth-heavy, trapped-out, layered up tapestry of past present and future sounds. A psychedelic bass trip into the hidden history of the Earth!
